Oh, and did I mention Kayo literally gets to cheat by reaching into his inventory in the middle of a game?!

Standing Ovation
Finally, Super Slam introduces the brand new Pre-Release kit box, which allows you to run your own Super Slam Sealed Deck events with friends and family at home.
Cosplay
Our talented community of cosplayers are well acquainted with the special promo hero Taylor. This diligent shapeshifter has served for many years as a special prize for those who graced the stage, but her time has finally come to retire. The last chance to get a Taylor will be at the Super Slam World Premiere in Montréal. But who will be taking her place as the iconic wardrobe wonder?
